The focus of Startup Junkies is the startup stage which, by our definition, includes both opportunity identification and launch.

If you’re an entrepreneur who needs to get going fast with a new venture and wants to learn from others, this is the place for you.

We bring together both the theory and practice of successful startup entrepreneurship.

While our backgrounds are in the technology sector, the lessons shared here will be beneficial to almost any entrepreneur.

Our preference is for creating low-cost startup strategies so that the chump’s game of chasing outside capital can be avoided.

Your startup’s booster rocket.

Since 2004 Startup Junkies has been designing, managing, and curating a world-class ecosystem of entrepreneurs, angel investors, venture capitalists, academics, mentors, advisers, consultants, and partners, in which it applies the best practices in everything from execution to deployment, launch, funding, growth, and exit.

I see people asking this question quite a lot. First off if you really can’t see how anything around you can be improved or done 10x better, then you’re either not the ideas guy or you haven’t got enough exposure to people’s problems to have the ideas yet and that’s fine. Why not join someone else’s startup who has a really good idea? There’s a hell of a lot to starting a business that’s about execution and lots of different skill sets, marketing, sales, business development, strategy and development. The idea takes by far the least amount of time, so you only need one ideas guy and hopefully he’s got other talents too.

You can’t just become highly successful through ‘life hacks’ and shortcuts, but there are some habits and tools that are too good not to use. That’s why I’ve assembled a list of the top 16 tools, tactics and routines that I’ve come across from my research. Integrating these won’t necessarily make you highly productive and successful but it will definitely help push you towards the right direction.

1.Make Lists

To-Do-Lists are everywhere and there is a reason why. They reduce anxiety about the chaos of life, providing a structure that we can follow. Lists break down your goals into manageable tasks and they are proof of what we have achieved that day, week or month. Science also shows that to-do-lists also eliminate the negative cognitive effects of unfinished goals, freeing your mind up to actually focus on the task you need to do now. Barbara Corcoran of Shark Tank fame is one of the biggest proponents of using To-Do-Lists to increase productivity.
